The people who created 40 Trillion in debt are angry that Elon Musk created 1 Trillion in wealth.

Hollywood has spent nearly $600 million trying to bring Matt Damon home.

Have they considered maybe he just doesn’t want to come back?

[Doug Borden @DougBorden]

@libsoftiktok @Georgetown Incredible, does he still have a job?

[Doug Borden @DougBorden]

@shipper_now Shipper?

Today, we've ended vibe coding as a whole.

I just watched my Mac build a complete business in 183 seconds.

This is just absurd.

[Doug Borden @DougBorden]

@DataRepublican @grok is this accurate about the NDI recommendations and who is in the organization?

[Learn Something @cooltechtipz]

This... isn't moving even a millimeter.

And yet, the brain is being completely deceived

[Doug Borden @DougBorden]

@Bony_Knee @OldeWorldOrder @grok is this map accurate about which states Harris won with regards to ID being required?

[Doug Borden @DougBorden]

@APompliano That’s fantastic. Thank you for the response.

[Doug Borden @DougBorden]

This is not to say we shouldn’t be stewards of our environment but Gore definitely took care of himself first and is a heck of a consumer of energy

[Electroverse @Electroversenet]

In 2006, Al Gore released An Inconvenient Truth, a film that defined modern climate alarm.

In it, he warned Greenland and Antarctica's ice would melt, driving seas high enough to put major cities underwater, with entire coastlines redrawn.

Eighteen years later though, none of it has happened.

Not even close.

Meanwhile, Gore got very rich.

While ordinary people were told to feel guilty and cut back, he built a fortune. Gore became the first climate billionaire. His wealth came from green investment funds, such as board seats and advisory roles, 200k+ speaking fees and carbon credit trading.

Al Gore didn't save the planet.

He monetized fear.

@C_3C_3 @grok are these figures accurate?

[Doug Borden @DougBorden]

@dgt10011 Do you have any comments on what the macro convert traders might have been doing with their MSTR shorts or is them covering their hedge/buying MSTR too far removed from this ?

[Doug Borden @DougBorden]

@seattle_conserv @BussinWTB @grok I did not know that Joe Namath didn’t throw or run for any touchdowns

[Doug Borden @DougBorden]

@grok @swingingsexxy @scotus_wire @grok does this mean all people who did not declare at legal points of entry?

[Doug Borden @DougBorden]

@CaseyBHead @KentleighE On 36 acres, and not knowing the layout, maybe you can put up 15 tiny homes on the back 15 acres, and create a little income to defer costs for the team!

[Doug Borden @DougBorden]

@CaseyBHead @KentleighE 1,000,000 per house
$500,000 each for the two family
$333,000 each for the three apartments

Guests can use the studio on a first come first served basis.

Giddy-up

Love this

Why do we do math in school?

When I asked this question as a kid, my teachers always told me, “You’ll use it one day.”

That’s almost always false.

Most adults are never going to be in a sticky situation with two binomials, thinking, thank goodness I can FOIL my way out of this mess. Most of us get by just fine without ever solving for x again.

And especially in an AI age, fewer and fewer people will “use math” in the narrow, practical sense.

But the origins of math have never been primarily about utility.

Math is formative. It trains the mind to love what is true, to recognize what is orderly, and to be drawn toward what is beautiful. It teaches us that the universe is not chaos, but something intelligible, something structured, something that can be known.

And you can see that truth made visible in the world’s most breathtaking churches and cathedrals: arches, vaults, domes, proportions, symmetry, harmony, light—geometry turned into glory. The mathematics that shapes a cathedral is not cold or sterile. It’s the language of wonder, carved into stone.

We don’t teach math because everyone will use it.

We teach math because it forms the kind of person who can see that reality has meaning.

[Doug Borden @DougBorden]

Is this adjusted for the number of workers per product. If in 1940 it took a million workers to build 5 million cars per year but today it only takes 250,000 to build 5 million cars, it would show up as workers taking a smaller percentage even if they were paid 25% more in real wages.

@MrTimeAttack @wholemars Our country was flourishing post WWII because we were the manufacturer to the world whose factories had been destroyed during the world.

[Doug Borden @DougBorden]

@MrTimeAttack @wholemars In the 50s-60s, the gov collected between 16%-19% of gdp, today it is between 16%-18%. The 1% paid an effective marginal rate between 35%-45%, today it’s 25%, our deficits were about 1% of gdp, now it is about 5.5%.
